[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Listen, if it makes you feel better, summer school was going to be like 4 hours a day for 4 weeks. It is not very robust because it’s usually literally just doing the minimum to try to get the kid up to grade level or pass. So APS definitely screwed up offering it before they could staff it and then having the nerve to put it back on teachers but you’re not missing out on like, 2 months of 8 hour a day full school. It just isn’t like that. [/quote]
To put it in perspective 20 days x 4 hours of in person instruction would be far more than my elementary student has received this school year.  Right now she's getting 80 minutes per week.  Everything else is by iPad.[/quote]

80 minutes a week?? Is she still at home? If she’s in person and still learning on the iPad I’m not sure summer school would’ve been terribly different even if she had qualified [/quote]No.  She's doing what APS calls "in person" but most content is still being delivered by iPad on in person days.  Only one class is actually taught in person.[/quote]
